Me, Merging with Marjorie, Momentarily

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE is not my favorite person. Quite the contrary, actually. She is in fact among my least favorite, not all that far behind you know who. Ever since she entered Congress (and it seems as if she's been in Congress forever) in 2021, her every word and deed has disgusted and angered me. She's a screeching lunatic Christian conservative, that deadly, traitorous, heretical combination of religious fanaticism and far right political extremism which so poisons us all. MTG, emblem of the cancer of MAGA Trumpism. When she said, sometime ago, that she would favor a "divorce" between the American religious right and the secular left, she seemed perfectly serious, and I must admit was, and still am, onboard. But that's where empathy between Margie and me ended...until just the other day. Madam Congressperson said three things of which I so enthusiastically approve and with which I so completely agree that I amtempted to take her right off my most hated list, and to leave her in limbo for the time being, neither hated nor liked by me, but rather, floating harmlessly in the "indifferent zone". First, she stated her opposition to Trump's attack on Iran. She pointed out that both she and Trump, and MAGA Republicans in general, ran for office on a platform of opposition to American involvement in foreign wars, and this includes starting them. We simply don't have any business bombing foreign countries right now, she opined. I couldn't possibly agree more. Not only that, Marjorie made it clear that she has no idea precisely why the United States has its military anywhere in the Middle East at all, much less everywhere there, and she implied that in her opinion, it shouldn't. Again, I couldn't agree more. Why the maintanance of an immensely expensive global military and economic American empire, and why worry about foreign sources of oil, since we have now fracked our way out of dependence on middle eastern oil. Her third eternal verity concerns American relations with Israel. Taylor-Greene mentioned that during her time in the House of Reps, Congress has passed no fewer than twenty two proclamations, declarations, and other pieces of legislation affirming and reaffirming the undying love and loyalty of these United States for the nation of Israel, God's chosen country, populated by God's chosen peeps. How many times do we need to do this? That's a fair question by the nemesis of liberals, whom they often describe, perhaps unfairly, as a "dumb blonde". It seems that Marjorie Taylor Greene, of all people, of all conservative Christian evangelical Republican lunatics - has noticed the white elephant in the room, the utter and complete control of United States foreign policy towards Israel...by Israel. Again, she is merely asking why. Again, I think her observation is surpassingly wise and courageous. Courageous, because she surely is aware that she,by her mere implication that the chosen country of Israel might be a bit less than perfect is likely to attract the verbal wrath of her fellow conservatives. You can almsot hear them screaming the epithet of the day, "anti-Semite" at MTG, and her screaming something right back. Could there possibly be trouble in MAGA paradise? AS Trump says: wait and see. As for me, I remain confident that soon enough, I can and will go right back to despising Marjorie Taylor Greene. But for just one,brief, strangely shining moment, I, of all people, am in her corner. Surely I can't and shan't stay there long. It just doesn't seem right. I may stray, but I always come home.
